Matt Cavanaugh was a senior at West Point when the country was attacked on Sept. 11th. He would graduate college in the spring, then complete his artillery training and find himself participating in the invasion of Iraq within a year. After his second deployment to Iraq, Matt earned his Masters degree and found himself back at West Point teaching strategy. Matt is now an author, ultra-marathoner, and kidney donor.
George Mills has one of those career paths so unique that it’s almost hard to believe. He enlisted as an infantryman and soon found himself holding a Yankee White TS security clearance, which he later lost after an off-duty incident. From there, he moved on to the newly formed Anti-Terrorism Battalion for a deployment to Iraq before leaving the Corps to work as a contractor. Eventually, he missed the Marine Corps and joined 4th ANGLICO as a reservist, where he gained fire support experience across multiple deployments before becoming a JTAC with the Marine Raiders.
